It's not valid to compare the UK to various small countries that have always had renewables in the form of large hydroelectric systems, which the UK's geography simply doesn't have.

My point is that, in the past decade, the UK has transitioned to renewables faster than any other major industrialised nation.

As recently as 2012, nearly 45% of UK electricity still came from coal. This has been cut to around 1% in 2022, and all remaining coal-fired power stations will be closed completely by 2025.

Obviously there is still much more to do, but the UK compares favourably here to, for example, the USA or Germany.
